  I am using the Chateau theme.

  When I publish a new post, followers get an email notification with the entire post. Instead, I would like the email notification to display only the first couple of sentences of my post with a “more” type link that the follower can select to go to my blog to see the entire post. How do I do this? Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can control the length of the entry sent out on your RSS feed here > Settings > Reading
  and choose the “summary” setting for your RSS feed or the “full text”.

  That does not affect the length of the post displayed on the front page or main page for posts on the blog. To create excerpts there we can split content by inserting “the more tag” http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/
